AI Thread Summary
When referring to professors in academic papers, it is generally appropriate to use their full title, such as "Professor Xxxx Xxxxxxx, Ph.D." This format conveys respect and acknowledges their academic credentials. Using "Doctor Xxxx Xxxxxxx" is also acceptable, but "Professor" is often preferred in educational contexts. The discussion highlights the importance of professionalism in academic writing. Properly addressing professors enhances the credibility of the paper.

This is sort of off-topic, but I couldn't find a better forum to ask in.

I'm writing a paper for my internship, and I need to refer to one of my professors for purposes of background information. I want to do this in a professional manner.

Should I say Professor Xxxx Xxxxxxx, Ph.D.?
Doctor Xxxx Xxxxxxx?

Thread 'Finding the number of ways to arrange identical balls in a circle (3 different colors)'

I tried to combine those 2 formulas but it didn't work. I tried using another case where there are 2 red balls and 2 blue balls only so when combining the formula I got ##\frac{(4-1)!}{2!2!}=\frac{3}{2}## which does not make sense. Is there any formula to calculate cyclic permutation of identical objects or I have to do it by listing all the possibilities? Thanks

Thread 'Greatest possible value of a constant in polynomial'

Since ##px^9+q## is the factor, then ##x^9=\frac{-q}{p}## will be one of the roots. Let ##f(x)=27x^{18}+bx^9+70##, then: $$27\left(\frac{-q}{p}\right)^2+b\left(\frac{-q}{p}\right)+70=0$$ $$b=27 \frac{q}{p}+70 \frac{p}{q}$$ $$b=\frac{27q^2+70p^2}{pq}$$ From this expression, it looks like there is no greatest value of ##b## because increasing the value of ##p## and ##q## will also increase the value of ##b##. How to find the greatest value of ##b##? Thanks
